What kind of turkey breast do you use for this recipe?

For this recipe you need a 3-4 pound boneless turkey breast. I recommend getting a fresh boneless turkey breast delivered to your door from Perdue Farms.

Can you put raw turkey in a crock pot?

You do not have to cook the turkey breast before putting it in the slow cooker. You can put the raw turkey breast directly into your large slow cooker. Then, add the other ingredients. The turkey breast will be fully cooked through and completely tender and juicy when you serve it.

How long does it take to cook the turkey breast in the crock pot?

Whisk all ingredients except the turkey breast together in a large mixing bowl until they are well combined to look like a marinade to pour over the turkey. Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over the turkey breast in the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for seven hours.

What kind of cranberry sauce do you use for this recipe?

I use a canned jellied style cranberry sauce for this recipe. You will need to chop it up a bit in the bowl before you begin whisking it together with the other ingredients to make sure it gets smooth.

Do you have to cook the cranberry sauce before putting it in the crock pot?

You do not need to cook the cranberry sauce. It will actually cook in the slow cooker with your turkey. You can simply open the can and dump the jellied cranberry sauce in the bowl for mixing with the other ingredients.
